The super Melo to Portland thread + The Big Blockbuster

Well normally by the time a "rumor" gets out it is dead.

 

Especially with NO.

 

and his interns who are assigned to each of us....he only talks to barfo

 

In the NO era, when has a rumor about our team come to fruition?

 

All recent trades by N.O., have had NO corresponding rumors!!

By the way, finally got this done reading this stupid thread!!!

 

because the rumor seems to be running out of steam!

 

This trade is INCONCEIVABLE!!

 

That's cuz it was bullshit to begin with. We're not trading Harkless. Especially getting Anderson in return.

 

I didn't complain about your tone once nor did I respond until you asked why I hadn't responded to that post. I moved on. Nor have I muted you. I really don't care. I have had enough of the Olive type days, not here for pissing matches. I don't need the last word.

And yes, you have an aggressive tone. Hell, I've probably read it at least 3 times in the last 2 days from other posters - note: not my opinion.

And yeah, that Jeremy Lin trade was stupid. You don't seem to have a problem calling other's ideas terrible, telling them they don't know basketball, etc. Pretty sure another poster or two had the same reaction. If I posted a CJ for Carmelo thread I'd get told it was a terrible and stupid trade, right? Some of your ideas, in isolation, are good and well thought out. But there is a butterfly effect in the NBA and when anyone tries to tell you otherwise, you get a certain 'post' tone.

You could also just be extremely defensive/passionate, really don't care - that's why I moved on.

I'm sure you aren't intentionally destroying the team, but just like BGD, you're doing it anyway.

 

Then you'd have the old Rudy gang ready to assassinate him as soon as he got to PDX...

 

Where's @SlyPokerDog's "Ladies you're both pretty" post when you need it?

 

Flipping out in game threads when down 10 pts in the first qtr is not passion..it's angst......Stotts sucks! blah, blah blah......I personally miss cheering for the team during games around here...the humor has left the building. Some folks just can't stop speechifying and probably rearrange the furniture in their mom's basement every 10 minutes or so in case it might look better...go figure....bones likes arguing about why he's arguing.....then demanding explanations for why you disagree with him. it's a spin cycle..

 

What?
Manu was as dominate offensively as any player in the league.
I think you're going too much off numbers if you're saying things like that.

Undoubtidly Bowen was helped defensively by Duncan, and Pop's system.
But Bowen, unlike Manu was in the league because he was a defensive stopper.
Manu was not.

 

OK so how was Bowen was helped defensively by Duncan and Manu not?

 

with the Spurs it's team defense that makes everybody look like a good defender...if you break the string on D Pops will bench you quick

 

I don't think we're going to resolve this and I wasn't really that interested in a long Ginobili debate. I simply disagree with you that Ginobili was a bad defender. We can agree to disagree.

 

Spurs team D has NEVER made Tony Parker look like a good defender.... If you don't break the string it's because you're a good defender.

 

Obi Wan Ginobili was an excellent defender. Revisionist history won't change that.

 

Wait a minute, dammit! Bones and BGD have been destroying my beloved Blazers! Why wasn't I told about this???!!
